I have also fallen into that vicious cycle—staring at the candlestick charts every day, studying theories like the Chan Theory, golden cross, death cross, with all kinds of lines drawn all over the screen.

How did it go? Three margin calls, and the account was once in a terrible state. Some "potential coins" lost everything, and other holdings were not spared either.

Later, I simply gave up on those complicated strategies. Instead, I used the most straightforward and brutal method in the crypto world—staring fixedly at a strong coin $EVAA, no fuss, no predictions, just lying flat like that. The result? The account grew from 1,700 USD to 130,000 USD.

The core is three points, and the key is to really follow through.

**First, avoid guessing the market's falsehoods and truths.** Whether it's shakeouts or诱多诱空 (诱多:诱导多头,诱空:诱导空头), who can really tell? I only look at one thing—whether it breaks through the previous high. If it breaks through, follow; there's no need to hesitate.

**Second, cut losses and take profits in time.** If it truly breaks through, you can catch a trend; even false breakouts have clues, so exit immediately. There will be no "I'll wait and see."

Oh no, it's the same old story. Why can't I quit the Chanlun obsession? 1700 to 130,000? Damn, isn't this the perfect curve I dream of? Lying flat and making money sounds really great, but the question is, can I stick with it? Stop-loss and take-profit are easy to talk about, but when that moment comes, who isn't torn and conflicted? How about this $EVAA? Is it really that powerful? The days of drawing lines are gone, haha. Got it, got it. The core is still not to mess around. It's tough.

1700U to 130,000? I've heard this narrative many times, but the key is whether anyone has actually done it [thinking] Honestly, saying stop-loss and take-profit is easy, but true newbies always die on "let's see again." I believe that. Breaking through a high point sounds simple and straightforward, but the problem is how to distinguish a fake breakout? Isn't it the whales relying on this to cut people? Why haven't I heard of this $EVAA? Is it a new coin or a lesser-known strong coin? If it really can turn 1700U into 130,000, why not post a screenshot of the holdings? It's true that not guessing the market is correct, but in the crypto world, it's always gambling—just the same old story.

Lying flat is truly amazing, much more useful than drawing lines every day. Going from 1700 to 130,000, this is the power of minimal fuss. Oops, wait, how did you choose $EVAA? Is there any logic or is it purely luck? I've also studied the Chan theory, and my brain is all muddled now. In the end, I still lost money. I've tried this breakout method before, but the key is to have discipline. Most people get wiped out because of greed. Another liquidation story, how many people have experienced this in the crypto world? Saying you don't predict the market is spot on, saves you from daily anxiety. Stop-loss is truly a life-and-death matter; so many people die because they can't bear to cut losses. Is simplicity and brutality the highest-level strategy? Feels like it's a bit oversimplified. Going from 1700 to 130,000 is indeed exaggerated. If it weren't for incredible luck, you'd really have to find some secret trick. The idea of lying flat to make money sounds comfortable, but after reviewing, it still feels like a survivor bias.

I've also played around with the Chan Theory drawing lines, but now I’ve deleted everything haha. It all comes down to the breakout move—simple, straightforward, and effective. A 130,000 account—jealous, I’m still in the exploration stage. Holding onto strong coins consistently is definitely more comfortable than predicting every day. What you said about stop-loss is right; too many people just hold on stubbornly and can't get out. Lying flat actually makes money; the crypto world is ridiculous. Simplicity and straightforwardness are the keys—more useful than any indicator. Not messing around can really help you live longer, I believe it.

1700 to 130,000, how much luck does that take? Why didn't I just get lucky? Honestly, I’ve also tried the Chan Theory approach, but it’s just a pure waste of time and tuition. Lying flat and holding coins is indeed more comfortable than drawing lines every day; you just need strong mental resilience. Stop-loss and take-profit really require a firm heart; otherwise, it’s just a breeding ground for bigger losses. Not messing around and not predicting sounds simple, but execution is the hardest step.

tbh the whole "breakout + stop loss" framework here is basically just trend-following with risk management stripped down to first principles... which works until it doesn't lol. the composability angle though—treating each trade as an atomic unit with defined entry/exit boundaries—that's actually sound from a game theory standpoint

I'm too familiar with this routine. The Chán Theory stuff is definitely an IQ tax. Only after three margin calls did I realize it. Lying flat and holding positions is the real trick; don't make reckless moves, it really makes money. It's easy to say but hard to do; execution truly tests human nature.

1. Same old story, breaking the high point and then what? What about those who got trapped earlier? 2. Going from 1700 to 130,000 sounds great, but it's just a survivor bias story. 3. Stop-loss and take-profit sound easy, but who would actually do it when the time comes? 4. The Yanlun theory is useless, but having been liquidated three times, this logic is a bit hard to hold up. 5. Sitting back, buying, and holding—this is truly the simplest way in the crypto world. 6. I just want to know what happened to that 130,000 later. Is it still there? 7. No fuss, no prediction; in the end, I guessed the right direction. Luck probably played a big role. 8. Looks simple, but executing it requires a very strong mindset. 9. I've also tried breaking the high point, but I still tend to chase the top easily. 10. Going from 1700U to 130,000 is indeed attractive, but is this approach suitable for everyone?
